2016 Tesla video promoting #selfdriving was staged, engineer testifies. Musk's tweet (“Tesla drives itself ... thru urban streets to highway to streets, then finds a parking spot") & video tagline ("The car is driving itself.") are maninfestly false. reuters.com/technology/tes…

Happy to see that our @cityofguelph has started implementing leading Pedestrian Interval intersection signals. However we need to ramp up implementation of this low cost but highly effective pedestrian safety measure @VisionZeroCA . @lirazfridman1 @JennieJuste @ParticipACTION

I’ve seen a lot of victim-blaming by police and media when drivers kill pedestrians. A LOT. But I don’t think I’ve ever read ANYTHING quite this stupid, infuriating and irresponsible. From Calgary police and media.

A Dodge Ram driver smashed into a bus shelter while speeding killing someone - and the police are perplexed as to why the victim was in the bus shelter because "he does have a vehicle" cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…

#Montreal's new #VisionZero plan tackles unforeseen behavior, vehicle blind spots, poor signage, visual obstruction at intersections & cognitive impairment. Improvements include advanced ped lights, right-sized emergency vehicles & improved 🚲 network. thesaxon.org/montreal-conti…

Good to see @Penalosa_G addressing weakness of @JohnTory's #VisionZero efforts. ✊ It's time to step up efforts, with calming measures including STREET REDESIGN. globalnews.ca/video/9112828/… #TOdeadlystreets #VisionZeroTO

"Rather than telling [motorists] to be extra careful when driving their (increasingly large) vehicle, the Service de police de la ville de Montréal has [targeted] the most vulnerable." Not that finger-wagging matters. We need to DESIGN OUT THE CONFLICT! oicanadian.com/straight-to-th…

Almost every major thoroughfare I came across in Montreal had a separated two-way bike track, most with a curb separator, some with flex posts. I saw no painted-line only bike lanes. Also, I saw no sidewalks closed for construction that didn’t include a bypass.

This pedestrian and cyclist tunnel was built underneath a roundabout in Amersfoort. For social safety, the tunnel offers optimal lighting and daylight. Its walls recede slightly, creating a more spacious and pleasant experience. WATCH from @BicycleDutch: youtu.be/jky48n9gzTY

The core of our argument is that 'active travel' is generally framed & treated too narrowly - as just walking and cycling. There are a whole range of other modes that could be brought into the scope of active travel and we suggest there are significant benefits to doing so 🧵2/

#HamOnt Main St "lane reduction is part of the beginning stages to convert the road from a one-way into a two-way street, which was approved by city council in May." Latter would be real progress, for safety & liveability. No time to waste! cbc.ca/news/canada/ha… #visionzero
